The 2017 Academy Award nominees have just been announced and Buro 24/7 Middle East has the details...

The 2017 Academy Awards, arguably the biggest cinematic event of the year, is close upon us and the nominations are in. After setting a record at the recent Golden Globes, La La Land continues its domination with 14 nominations, sharing the record of the highest number of nominations in Oscar history with Titanic and All About Eve. Elsewhere, the usual suspects remain at the fore with Casey Affleck and Ryan Gosling amongst those jostling for the Best Actor award while Meryl Streep and Emma Stone battle it out for the Best Lead Actress prize. Hoping to push La La Land off its perch are some of the year's most lauded films including Lion, Manchester by the Sea, Hacksaw Ridge and Arrival.
